Unlikely Match

Chapter 8: Special Training

Loki managed to grab your other hand, pulling you back down and into his arms, holding you tight and preventing you from going anywhere. If he was a human you probably would have pulled him up into the air with you, as the force was that strong and even being Asgardian, he still had a little trouble keeping you both on the ground. Loki could tell you were in a lot of pain but wasn't sure what exactly was happening as you seemed unresponsive, only able to let out incoherent moans, while crying. Enough agents seemed to be out of range now so you eventually managed to utter, "voices... too many... in my head," and it took Loki about half a second to realize you had developed some form of telepathy. He could also read minds, but for him, it would usually take physical contact but he knew what to do; reaching out with his mind he entered yours, drowning out all of the other voices, helping you put up a mental shield in your mind.  

It took a while but eventually, the voices got quieter, and soon you could barely hear them, before they disappeared altogether, you let out a huge sigh in relief, laughing a little while still crying. You clung to Loki, just breathing, smiling, and weeping, it was so scary, the thought that you were so close to losing it. You were so close to killing countless more people by accident, and with this destruction, the Helicarrier would no doubt crash, destroying who knows how many more. And yet the feelings you had from being able to stop an "incident" before it actually happened was amazing as you had never been able to do so before.  

Loki just held you, sitting down against the wall like before, and he had you in his lap, rubbing your back and head as you calmed down, it took a while but you managed. You turned up to look at Loki giving him a grateful smile before placing your hands on the sides of his face, leaning up to give him a kiss. You tried not to cry again as you whispered, "thank you love" while wrapping your arms around Loki, so thankful he was here with you, feeling so lucky to have someone like him. You soon raised your hand, summoning a large fuzzy blanket, it was green, it was one you saw online and wanted and quickly you wrapped it around Loki and yourself, just needing him to hold you. 

You really couldn't talk about it yet, even though you managed to stop crying and appeared alright, inside, you were still very much freaking out about everything. You just closed your eyes and let Loki hold you close, leaning your face up against his torso, focusing on the sound of his heartbeat and the slight rise and fall of his chest like the previous night. The noise and movement was so comforting, the floating and glowing objects began to land, you had very little strength left and you couldn't stop yourself as you fell asleep. Loki just pulled your sleeping form tight against him, he could finally relax, and he let out a large sigh in relief, knowing you were safe now. When he felt your mind reach out for him, he was so worried, he just got you, he couldn't lose you already, the two of you were going to have a long happy life together, you couldn't leave him.  

Loki thought about it more, the life you would have together, all the places that he'd take you to across the universe, all the places you'd show him on Midgard that he hadn't seen yet. He also pictured quiet nights in, just together sitting by a roaring fire cuddling up as he read to you or as they watched another one of your motion pictures. Loki was starting to reconsider his plans of conquest, although he did like the idea of seeing you in a gorgeous dress and glittering crown as all the mortals addressed you as their queen, his queen. He continued to ponder for the next little bit while holding you, keeping you safe, running his fingers through your hair, swearing it was a little longer and felt perhaps even a little thicker than before. You started to glow slightly as you drifted off further and deeper into the dream realm, and Loki couldn't help but completely relax, giving you a kiss on your forehead, just humming to himself as he let his thoughts wander.  

You woke up with the harsh lights of the medical bay glaring down on you, making your headache worse, but even so, you managed to sit up. You look over to see Agent Julia Traversa, one of the medical personnel who worked in the Med Bay, she was the one who would usually get you your medication. You liked her, she was grumpy and rude to everyone, but in an almost charming way, she was a no-nonsense kind of lady, she was mean but damn good at her job, well usually. You don't know why she would let anyone deliver your medication, maybe it was because you were late picking it up, but you didn't dwell on it as you could ask her now. She was standing not too far away from you but you didn't want to yell across the room to get her attention so you got up to go and talk to her, first saying hi and then asking how you got here.
